Check Your Pits & Your Feet: 2 Easy Ways To Prep For A Healthy Spring

Grounding, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Is it heating up where you live? It’s warming up here, and as I got sweaty doing some spring gardening this weekend, it reminded me to put out my annual blog post urging you not to use antiperspirants. Many of my readers don’t use anti-perspirant, but they do use a deodorant. So today I want to urge you to also double check that your deodorant is paraben free too, or it’s not much better than an anti-perspirant. Here’s why: Our armpits are not only covered in fully absorptive skin just like the rest of our …

8 Ways To Naturally Defeat Spring Allergies

Grounding, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

What is the number one health reason that patients dread spring? Seasonal allergies, hands down. For many folks, the first thing that comes to their mind during spring isn’t pedicures and bare feet, picking fresh strawberries and blueberries, gardening and sunshine… …it’s allergies: puffy eyes, sneezing attacks, runny noses and difficulty breathing. Well that stinks. But I’ve got your back! Because I don’t want you to drug up on antihistamines and watch your lovely spring season go by in a blur of grogginess. (And, did you know that long-term antihistamine use isn’t that great for you anyway? It’s …

The Ultimate Indoor Grounding Guide

Grounding / By Laura Koniver, MD

When I first started introducing the concept of grounding to my patients, I only advised them to go outside and touch the earth directly. Free, accessible, direct healing. To this day, I still advise you to do this, daily, whenever you possibly can! However, because the medical literature is so very clear that grounding indoors with indoor grounding tools is extremely healing as well, I did not want my patient’s healing to be limited to times when they had the energy, good weather, mobility and spare time to head outside. In general, the folks who need grounding the most …

Why You Still Have Chronic Pain & 5 Ways To Truly Fix It

Electrosensitivity, Grounding, Health Videos, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

I just finished attending a national medical conference on the latest updates on Pain Management. It was awesome, but there was a huge gap in what doctors could offer and how much pain would resolve. In fact, in the conference the top pain specialists — physicians who are the highest trained out of the entire community to treat pain — flat out stated that they can only take about 30% of pain away, at most. WHAT?!?! You are left with about 70% of pain untreated? Uh… No way. There are tons of things you can do to address pain. …

Holistic Prevention Of Lyme (+ what to do if you find a tick on you!)

Grounding, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

The weather is warming up, and this always means my inbox is full of emails from patients asking how they can reduce their chance of tick bites while still connecting to the earth outside. Ticks carrying the Lyme disease bacteria (Borrelia Burgdorferi) have been found in all 50 states, so don’t be fooled into thinking its only something that folks in the northeast have to be concerned with. But I really *really* don’t want you to limit or stop your healing practice of connecting to Mother Earth outside daily. This healing practice is, to me, as crucial …

A Super Interesting Difference Between Men and Women

Female Health, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

A very interesting study looked at how our heart responds to mental stress. Turns out, there is a very key difference between the way a woman’s heart responds to stress and the way a man’s heart responds. Mental stress is well known to trigger cardiac changes (as I go into more detail on below…) but so far, no study had looked out a difference between the sexes. Today’s study, published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology on Dec. 21, 2017, showed definitively that there is an incredible difference between how a woman’s cardiovascular system responds to mental stress …
